IMPROVEMENT IN Tovs.

Speeication forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,552, dated January 9, 1872.

Specification describing a certain Improvement in Toy Oil-Well-Drilling Apparatus, invented by JOHN W. BEATTY, of Petroleum Centre, in the county of Venango and State of Pennsylvania.

This invention relates to apparatus for the amusement of the young, representing in miniature the machinery employed in boring for oil; and consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter described.

The accompanying drawing i's a perspective view of an apparatus usually employed in drilling for oil, designed to stand upon a table, and combined therewith are inkstand and penholder.

Similar letters oi' reference indicate correspending parts.

A is the platform. B is the en gine-house. O is the derrick or tower, by means of which the drill is raised. D is a pulley, over which the hoisting-rope E passes, one end of the rope being attached to the drill, and the other end to the Windlass F. Gr is the stand for the working-beam. H is the working-beam. The drillshaft is attached to one end of the workingbeam, and the beam is operated by a crank, I, to which the other end is connected by the pitman J. The belt K from the engine-pulley M passes over and revolves the band-Wheel L. Theftcrank I is on the end of this band-wheel sha To represent the necessary motions of the oil-well drilling apparatus above described, when in operation I employ a clock-work as a motive power in the en gine-house, and convey the necessary power and motion by means of the belt K. When the clock-work is wound up the working-beam will vibrate, and the drill will be raised and lowered substantially as in a real drilling apparatus.

N represents pen-holders on the side of the derrick C. O is an inkstand on the platform A. P is a iiange around the platform, which mak es a safe. receptacle of the latter for pens, rubber, or other articles.

I do not limit or conne myself to t-he precise form or arrangement of any of the parts herein described, as they may be varied in many ways Without departing from my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. As a new article of manufacture, a toy oilwell-drilling apparatus, constructed substantially as described.

2. The inkstand O and pen-holders N, in combination with a toy oil-well-drilling appa ratus, substantially as shown and described. V
